Great River Walk Penrith

The Great River Walk in Penrith offers stunning views of the Nepean River and the Blue Mountains.

Covering approximately 8km, the walk is highlighted by the 6.4km Bridge to Bridge loop, which features breathtaking scenery and various amenities.

Visitors to the Great River Walk can enjoy the beauty of the river and mountains while escaping the busyness of city life. The walk is suitable for walkers, cyclists, and scooter riders, and offers plenty of viewing platforms, picnic spots, playgrounds, and cafés along the way.

For those looking to take a break from the walk, the Penrith Regional Gallery offers an opportunity for an artistic interlude and a bite to eat.

During the walk, visitors will cross the river twice, including over the pedestrian Yandhai Nepean Crossing. Wildlife and boats can be observed along the riverbank, adding to the scenic experience.

Access to the walk is convenient from Penrith and Emu Plains railway stations. The Great River Walk is part of a larger plan to develop a walk that spans the entire Hawkesbury-Nepean river system, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a serene and beautiful nature walk.
